The Book Dragon has read Away With Words by Julie B. Cosgrove and gives it a roaring five claws!
My review: What
a great book! After reading all the previous books in this series, I especially
enjoyed following Wanda, Betty Sue, and Evelyn as they traveled to a women’s
retreat in Louisiana, made new friends, and stumbled upon clues leading to yet
another mystery. More clever word play and more scrumptious recipes to try!
Wanda & Co feel like beloved friends now—all of them unforgettable and loveable
and oh, so human. Just like us! Highly recommended.
I know this doesn't tell too much about the story, but I hate giving away spoilers. So here's the blurb from Amazon and a better image of the cover:
A brook, a shoe, and a bloody sock…
After two years of crime-solving, in which she was kidnapped, arrested, and had her kitchen blown to pieces, Wanda Warner agrees to go on a women’s retreat with her two best friends, Betty Sue and Evelyn… to get away for some much needed R&R. Especially when she hears they will play word games, her favorite pastime. Wanda has always had a way with words, as her nephew, the policeman, has told her many times.
But once again, solving the word puzzle clues to items on a scavenger hunt leads her to discover what could be a crime scene. Then she learns an area teenager is missing. So, why does the retired forensics scientist, who owns the retreat center, seem to downplay everything?
Can Wanda convince the authorities that the brook-soaked clues could lead to the girl’s whereabouts? And will she still be alive if they find her?
Here's the link to Amazon. Check out the entire series! (Though each can stand alone.)
